remaking of Horten Ho-229

last year, engineers and technicians at Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector in El Segundo had rebuilt the infamous Horten Ho-229 (or sometimes known as Gotha Go 229).


the so-called Hitler's stealth fighter was being tested whether it is stealth or not. Northrop Grumman has a long history in all-wing aircraft designs and they also built the famous B-2 stealth bombers. Using high tech model shop in El Segundo, they built a replica of Horten Ho-229 which is slightly lighter than the original.


it is concluded that Horten Ho-229 is stealthy. The allied force can be considered lucky because Horten Ho-229 does not enter the war. with that kind of speed and stealth ability, Nazi should turn the tide of war but Horten Ho-229 came too late to be mass-produced. Supposedly no other operational aircraft that surpass Horten Ho-229 until many years after WWII. Just image what other unrevealed Nazi secret projects can actually do. The technologies is too far ahead of that time.
